Last week’s episode of The Outpost, had Talon and Garret sparring, Gwynn and Talon enjoying a girl’s night out, the Mistress ending her ties with Worm, and ended with Talon alone on the floor bleeding after being stabbed again! If you haven’t caught up with my previous recaps, you can read them here!

Last week on the season premiere of Better Call Saul, we learned that Chuck did indeed die in the season 3-ending house fire. Most of the season premiere revolved around Jimmy, Kim and Howard getting ready to bury the oldest McGill brother while Mike literally went to work at Madrigal.

When we left our intrepid heroes last week, Tyrone was about to go on the run after the police show up trying to pin the Fuchs murder on him. And Tandy? She’s dealing with Scarborough’s assassin. Catch up on the full deep dive recap & review here!

On to our deep dive recap and review of the Season 1 Finale of Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger … after the jump (beware of spoilers)!

In the last episode of The Outpost, Janzo began to do research on the Plagueling bodies, Gwynn and Talon started a ‘friendship,’ Talon challenged Garret to spar, and Ambassador Dred sent the ‘Bones’ to see if Magmoor’s message is true. If you haven’t caught up on all the action, read my previous recap and review here!

The last episode of The Outpost ended with Kell turning into a Plagueling after he was bitten, and Talon saving Garret’s life after the Plagueling attacked him. If you haven’t caught up on all the action, read my previous recap and review here!

The biggest shock of last week’s episode, okay, well, I guess there were two big shocks, was first, Mara has been seeing Chris as a derealization and only realized this after she was with program Chris and received a phone call from human Chris and the derealization turned into Ray. WHAT?!?! The second shock was Oliver Hill had the shady security guard steal him a program tablet to only go inside the program and collapse without explanation at a bar. WHAT?!?!?

Oliver Hill saying apertus is where we left off last week and now we will begin with The Key (Spoilers ahead – be warned)!!!!

At the end of Season 3 of Better Call Saul, HHM faced an astronomical increase in malpractice premiums (following Jimmy’s dropping the dime to their insurance carrier about Chuck’s condition). Chuck, recently on the road to recovery and back at work, wanted to fight the increase while Howard, finally having had enough of the Chuck Liability, gives Chuck $3 million (of his own funds) in severance and announces Chuck’s “retirement” to the firm. That night, disgraced and in full mental illness regression, Chuck kicks over a lantern setting his house ablaze.

Elsewhere, Kim, who was burning the candle in 7 different places, fell asleep behind the wheel of her car causing her to crash and break her arm. She was on the way to a client meeting and client files were strewn about the road. Hector Salamanca, after learning that Gus will be handling all smuggling work, as per the big boss (Don Eladio), suffers the heart attack we had been waiting for. Nacho is able to replace his fake heart medication pills for the real ones before the ambulance takes Hector away. Gus witnesses this exchange but says nothing … for now. Jimmy, in a final attempt to rehabilitate Irene with her friends, blows his sweet Sandpiper deal and his status with the senior citizen crowd. And Mike Ehrmantraut? He’s still working for Madrigal.

Oh, and in the future Cinnabon Jimmy (who goes by Gene) passes out while at work in his Omaha Mall Cinnabon.

As I sit here to reflect on last week’s episode before diving into this week’s episode, I turned to Dagny’s version of Landslide and am immediately filled with a warm fuzzy feeling. I want to touch on the use of background music in each episode bringing us new artists and remakes of classics. Each week I am reminded of all the reasons I became a fan last Summer; most importantly, the show is super relatable.

Before reading any further, make sure you are caught up on last week’s action with my deep dive recap & review here. All done? Good. Let’s dive into tonight’s episode which leads us to our first ever run in with the infamous Babs Brady. As always spoilers ahead.

The Outpost

July 17, 2018

The last episode of The Outpost left off with Talon being stabbed and then being carried away by the man in the hood and cape – the same man that had been watching her at the bar [ED. NOTE: He was watching her like a total old man, creeper].

Who is that man? Does Talon survive? Make sure you’re caught up on everything that happened last week with my deep dive recap & review here!
